Morgan Pressel started the new year continuing her fight to end the disease that took her mother’s life.
The 13th annual Morgan & Friends Fight Cancer event at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida, on Monday raised $1,000,622. It marked the fifth consecutive year the effort topped $1 million, raising total funding to $9.5 million over the years.
Pressel’s mother, Kathryn Krickstein Pressel, died in 2003 of breast cancer.
“When we first started this, the thought was if we can save one person, one life, one family, everything that goes with breast cancer and all the heartbreak that goes with that, it will be worth it,” Pressel told LPGA.
